Rosary for Peace – this Monday, 7th October, 7pm, in our church

This Monday, 7th October, feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, Catholics around the world will come together for World Rosary Day. This day of prayer is in response to Pope Francis’ call for a “symphony of prayer”, leading up to the Holy Jubilee Year 2025. The Holy Father invites us into a period of intense prayer as the Church prepares for the Jubilee Year of grace, emphasising the need to petition Our Lady to guide us on this journey. 7th October is also the day, one year ago, when the dreadful horror of the war in the Holy Land began. Our Catholic Grandparents Association have asked that we have a Rosary for Peace this Monday 7th October in our Church starting at 7pm. We will meditatively pray all three classic mysteries of the Rosary – the Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious mysteries – for peace in our hearts and homes and across the whole world, especially in those places most in need of it.
